We really do have it good in ny.. the problem is we got rid of monday opener, that killed the deer camp, guys would take a week off of work to hunt go home and maybe go out amother weekend if they wern't successful. Now it's rush to camp fri night hunt sat sunday am and rush home.. we created an army of weekend warriors.. so because of the 1.5 days they have to hunt a week the mentality changes to shoot quick.. while a vacation in a short season will lead to greater selectivity..

Most states gun seasons are much shorter than nys. Some 7 to 10 days only... if you want bigger bucks thay is the fastest way to do it and higrading the herd doesn't happen. Last season was prime example in wny.. buffalo and surrounding area got pounder with 8,ft of snow the year before and 90% of southern tier hunters were stuck at home and missed 2 weekends in a row..plus the week between.. now fast forward to last year, local butchershops and taxidermist got the biggest racked bucks on average that they ever had.. everyone was shooting 2 year old and older bucks it seemed.. why... because 10 days of hunting g 2 weekends the year before had a 90 % drop in hunting so the yearlings made it through.. I do not expect this year to have the same success as last size wise because locally the buck take was up..

Nice mount, ripples aren't for me.. I prefer a more natural look with winter fur. Glad you enjoy it hope it brings many happy memories for you!!

Why do you find turkey more exciting or as exciting than deer hunting?
G-Man replied to Bowguy 1's topic in Turkey Hunting
Turkey is much more interactive than deer hunting, personally I could give up both as I don't get excited anymore.. I would much rather take someone out than shoot a bird or deer myself.. that being said, it's easier and more interactive with turkey than it is ambushing a deer from a blind or elevated stand, imo, it gives the new hunter a rush to hear let alone see a bird. .deer you pretty much need to see them and get a shot -
Lol I just realized my next project is in the background of headlight pick, 1970 cj-5...lol

Plus they drop them off in a spot, real survival you have to get to a spot that can support you.. here's your campsite..lol
-
They get to bring too much gear with themselves.. tarps,fire starters, gill nets, ect... not really survival , just extended camping...
-
And lights all in and working! Headed to dmv in am for registration. . Then interior work.. looks like memorial parade is a go!
-
The only survival show worth watching is survivor man.. they others are very scripted and fake.. he even has done shows sressing not to try his feats alone until you have much practice under your belt.. les stroud is the man!

Isn't it a fallacy thay the best cigars are cuban? The manufactures and rollers fled when the communists took over. I forget what they changed their name to.... kind of paying for a name and getting an inferior product ..

My hunting mentor use to always carry a click ball point pen, in a pinch unscrew it and use lower half as a trumpet call, I watched him call birds using it many times.. and you need a pen anyways!!
-
Don't use a trumpet, but use wingbone. Similar just bone vs wood.. has great tone, yelps are very realistic, as are clucks.. use by kissing it suckling in.. takes some practice but worth using for call shy birds
-
Shoot again, for some reason we are taught 1 shot only.. if you would of shot when you saw him again you may of had them.. even a 1 winged bird will out run you, and most likely 1 1 legged turkey could as well.. I tipped a big gobbler on film for a call company with black powder ( double barrel) rolled him right over looking at camera and he gets up and runs ,I thought my chest would explode from the downhill race I did several hundred yards.. was close a couple of times and never thought to use second shot.. never got him and I collapsed winded... with camera man laughing his head off .. I still have the unaired vhs tape someplace...
